There can be something very appealing about bowls with straight sides. Here, the slightly inward sloping design encourages the eye to follow the line down the curve, which creates a smooth connection between the upper half of the bowl and the base. The bowl sits on a small foot, to visually lift it off the table.
This bowl has been made from a piece of Cherry that was sourced from a farm in the Golden Valley in Herefordshire, where it had been felled several years ago to create space for farming operations. This wood has a lovely reddish tint and a gentle grain pattern.
The bowl has been treated with food safe oils and beeswax.
Wash your bowl immediately after use with warm water and a mild detergent and dry with a towel. To refresh the look of your bowl, sand it lightly with 0000 steel wool and apply a thin layer of natural oil or wax. Over time, contact with food will create a patina in your bowl.
Do not use olive oil to treat your bowl, as it will turn rancid over time!
